Nice inn in village location
Nice village inn. Room was clean and had everything you need - just a little compact and underwhelming (more like a motel as we were in the anex directly off the car park). Breakfast excellent - good quality and freshly cooked. Dinner in the inn pretty good and service friendly and efficient.

We really enjoyed our brief stay, we were visiting family & Stock was a good base. The room was very nice & very clean. Breakfasts were excellent. Only real issue was the shower panel, not big enough & water went all over the floor.

The Harvard Inn: A Historic Boutique Hotel The Harvard Inn is a charming independent boutique hotel that exudes character and history. I stayed here while attending a local wedding. 🌟 **Atmosphere and History:** The Harvard Inn stands as a testament to the past. Its walls have witnessed countless stories, and its wooden beams seem to hold secrets from centuries ago. As you step inside, you're greeted by an ambiance that transports you back in time. 🍸 **Caramel Espresso Martini:** The bar at The Harvard Inn is a hidden gem. Their caramel espresso martini is a delightful concoction—a perfect blend of rich coffee, velvety caramel, and a kick of vodka. Sipping it feels like indulging in a decadent dessert. 🥗 **Harvard Salad:** For foodies, the Harvard Salad is a revelation. Fresh greens, juicy cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta come together in a symphony of flavors. The tangy vinaigrette ties it all together, leaving your taste buds dancing. 👩‍💼 **Exceptional Staff:** The staff at The Harvard Inn deserves applause. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care elevate the experience. Whether you need local recommendations or extra pillows, they're there with a smile. ⏰ **Room Request:** The only minor quibble? A clock in the room would be helpful. Sometimes, amidst the historical charm, we still need to keep track of time. In summary, The Harvard Inn is more than a hotel—it's a living piece of history. If you appreciate unique stays and crave a taste of the past, thi

Very comfortable, great staff, super convenient parking. Didn't eat here in the evening, but Breakfast was excellent and served with a smile, all the staff are spot on. Beware the full English, it's a whopper, there is a small English which will be my choice next time.
